A Tasty, Easy Breakfast

USDA inspected American Guinea hog bacon is packaged and available for purchase.

Tim usually cooks breakfast. Before we called it an evening last night, I mentioned tomorrow morning, I’m making a favorite breakfast of mine. I’m a fan of potatoes, baked, fried, mashed. Add a little butter and salt and it’s just magic. My hubby on the other hand probably ate too many as a kid plus he complains they’re “too carby”.

One of my favorite ways to cook potatoes is to fry them. My fried taters are my son’s favorite. The two us can make a meal out of fried potatoes with some salt and ketchup. My hubby on the other hand would probably eat nothing but bacon if I let him.

Let’s start cooking

Today I’ll be making a country fried breakfast with most of the foods sourced from TnF Farms. I’m starting by frying up a package of our American Guinea hog bacon in an iron skillet. I don’t consider myself a short order cook, and I have Tim hovering in the kitchen eating the bacon as fast as it comes out of my skillet.

Since he’s hovering, I put Tim to work on the bacon cooking. I wash some potatoes we picked up at the store. Next year, I’m planning to have potatoes growing in our garden. I don’t peel the potatoes, cube them and set the pile aside. I shoo hubby out of the kitchen while I finish all the bacon.

Once the bacon is cooked and set aside, I don’t drain any of the glorious bacon grease. We call it “pig butter”. With the skillet still hot, I slide all the cubed potatoes into the skillet. I keep the heat on medium so we don’t get a splatter mess or burn the outside of the potatoes. I move the potatoes around in the skillet once in a while to make sure they get a nice crispy outside.

A couple of samples and the potatoes are done. I turn the heat off and get out another skillet for some of our free range, non-GMO fed, farm fresh eggs. I keep TnF Farms best eggs set aside for our customers. We’re having the small eggs for our breakfast. A generous pat of butter goes into the skillet. Once melted, I scramble up the egg mixture.

Everything on the plate was sourced from TnF Farms except for the potatoes. Next year, a meal like this will be entirely sourced here!

Let’s Eat

We’re plated up. The bacon fried potatoes are perfect level of crispiness. I only add some Himalayan salt and a garnish of mint for aesthetics. The fried potatoes must’ve hit the spot because even Tim ate some. The American Guinea hog bacon, free range, non-GMO fed farm fresh chicken eggs and mint are all sourced from TnF Farms.
